was my first experience behind the
bars. but Captain Lockwood was vel
coined by the jailer as one of his old
boarders and patrons and treated ac-
cordingly. Hc had been previously
captured by the Ella Marley. While
here wo had the pleasure of enjoying

"Aftcr IN incarceration of eleven
weeks Capt. Lockwood and myself
were transferred to Fort Lafayette,
then under command Of Col. Burke, u.
.. A. 1t was an inhospitable place
ind not to DO compared to u first-class
hotel. Tho company was select in a
double sense; that is, it consisted on
the ono hand of such MGR as Gen. Fitz
Lee, Gen. Frank Gardner, Lieut.. Glass
sci. who attempted to blow up the
Ironsides off Charleston bar, Lieut..
Smith, of the old navy, now a mer-
chant in New Orleans, and others then
more or less known TO fame.
"On the other hand II cho,cer set of

ceratcd for offcnses against federal re-
cruits, could not be found outside tho
walls of the p%enitentiary. The confcd-

in experimenting with every species of
diversion that human ingenuity could
create with the scanty material which
the locality afforded.
"Among our NUMBER was an ex-

an impression from a lock could make
a key that would open any door in the
prison. By this means we were en-

With these means ut our command, we

Kentuckiau who had been arrested in
California and brought to Fort Lafay-
ette on the charge of attempting to fit
out a privateer there, did, however, sue

thence made his way to Canada.
"Capt. Lockwood and myself, after
being confined for several months, were
released. The captain, finding that he
